I noticed on the RIPE site earlier discussions on a free ipdb tool which was supposed to be available through Global Crossing through the URL: http://www.freeipdb.org This URL gives me no joy however, is this all a joke? And has anyone good recommendations for an IP Management tool to handle the stockcontrol, allocations and assignments of Ipv4 and Ipv6 addresses for a telecoms company? We have been having no end of solutions presented to us which each just didn't quite do what promised :( Anybody out there with good experiences with any tool?

We use an IP address management tool based on the RIPE Whois server software. One of its main advantages is that is synchronises the assignments with e.g. the official RIPE Whois repository, and sure it can handle your mentioned stock control, allocations and assignments.

Deprecation of CRYPT-PW authentication method from the RIPE Database: Start of Phase 2
by Agoston Horvath 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, Phase 2 of the CRYPT-PW deprecation project will start today, Wednesday, 10 January 2007. During this period the following will apply: * Any modification to a maintainer or IRT object that adds a new CRYPT-PW authentication will be rejected * Any modification to a maintainer or IRT object that attempts to replace a CRYPT-PW with another CRYPT-PW will be rejected * Any object creations that include a CRYPT-PW authentication will be rejected * The RIPE Database will add a warning to the acknowledgement message if CRYPT-PW is used during authentication * The RIPE Database will add a warning to the acknowledgement message if a modified maintainer or IRT object still contains existing CRYPT-PW authentication Notification e-mails will be sent today to over 6300 e-mail addresses, concerning a total of 2778 objects with CRYPT-PW authentication only. Another 252 objects have other authentication methods in addition to CRYPT-PW. 20898 maintainers have no CRYPT-PW password at all. If you receive a separate notification e-mail you will have to change your password authentication method to PGP, X.509 or MD5-PW. To change your password authentication method from CRYPT-PW to MD5-PW, use the CGI at: https://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/crypt2md5.cgi Phase 1 of the project has been successfully completed. One quarter of all objects containing CRYPT-PW authentication have been modified. Over 85% of these changes were made using the crypt2md5.cgi web form. More information about the project is available at: http://www.ripe.net/db/support/security/crypt-pw_deprecation/ *Key dates* Thursday, 30 November 2006: Notification (Phase 1) Wednesday, 10 January 2007: Reject new CRYPT-PW (Phase 2) Wednesday, 21 February 2007: Remove CRYPT-PW from RIPE Database (Phase 3) If you have any questions, contact: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net.

ASN32 deployment
by Denis Walker 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear colleagues, This morning, between 07:00 and 09:00 (UTC), we deployed new software for the RIPE Database. Three changes were made: 1. The new software allows the creation of 32-bit (4-byte) Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). There is more information about this in the references at the end of this e-mail. 2. The ORGANISATION object type NON-REGISTRY has been changed to OTHER. The RIPE NCC modified all existing organisation objects which had the old type. There is more information about this at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2006/msg00245.html 3. We reversed changes made to the status of ERX objects. While implementing the ASSIGNED ANYCAST status, other changes were made. This prevented more specific assignments from being created within EARLY REGISTRATION ranges. These changes have been rolled back. If you have any questions about any of these changes, send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards Denis Walker Database Group RIPE NCC -------- References: The new 32-bit ASN format is described in these documents: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representatio… http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt Sites using the RIPE Database software will probably have to upgrade their systems. See: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-db-update.html Our test database (e-mail to <test-dbm(a)ripe.net> or access through webupdates) also now handles the new AS number format.

Implementing TLS/SSL on RIPE NCC external MX'es
by Brian Riddle 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, After our successful implementation testing of Transport Layer Security (TLS) over the last few months, we will be implementing TLS on our external mail exchanges (MXs). We will upgrade our mail server software on 8 January 2007, followed by implementation of TLS on 10 January 2007. If you experience problems with mail delivery to the RIPE NCC after the implementation, please send a e-mail to ops(a)ripe.net. To do this, however, you might have to disable TLS on your MX server or send the email from a MX server that does not have TLS enabled. Regards, Brian Riddle IT Manager RIPE NCC

New organisation type proposal "NON-REGISTRY" => "OTHER"
by Katie Petrusha 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear colleagues, This is a proposal to change the organisation type "NON-REGISTRY" to "OTHER" for ORGANISATION objects in the RIPE Database. Motivation: The RIPE ENUM Working Group needs a more general organisation type for the ORGANISATION object. Many organisations have the organisation type "NON-REGISTRY". In the context of the RIPE Database, this is correct. However, some organisations have different functions in other contexts. The RIPE ENUM Working Group proposes changing the organisation type from "NON-REGISTRY" to "OTHER". More details are available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/enum-wg/2006/msg00100.html Implementation: The proposed change involves changing the syntax of the ORGANISATION object in the RIPE Database. It does not involve any new or changed authorisation rules or changes to any other objects. Consequences for Existing Objects: Around 20,000 ORGANISATION objects in the RIPE Database have the status of "NON-REGISTRY". The RIPE NCC will modify these objects. Before making any changes, we will tell the object holders about what will happen. If you have any questions about this, send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net> Kind Regards, -- Katie Petrusha RIPE NCC

Assignments of 32 bit AS Numbers
by Henk Uijterwaal 05 Dec '06

Dear Colleagues, From 1 January 2007, the RIPE NCC can assign 32-bit Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). There is more information about this policy in ripe-389: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-389.html Details of how to request a 32 bit ASN are in ripe-396: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/asnsupport.html ASN32 objects will appear in the RIPE Database from 1 January 2007. Their format is different from the current 16-bit ASNs. The new format is described in these documents: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representatio… http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt The introduction of 32-bit ASNs may have an effect on tools that query the RIPE Database or those based on RPSL. A test server is available. There is more information at: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-test-server.html Sites using the RIPE Database software will probably have to upgrade their systems, see: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-db-update.html For more information, please contact us at <asn32(a)ripe.net>.
